Real Madrid ace Vinicius , 24, is investing £2.6million to convert a closed school into a social centre in the Sau Goncalo neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro he grew up in.
The project will provide education, sport and cultural activities to 5,000 people for FREE .
It is being run by his Vini Junior Institute, which manages the superstar’s charitable projects.
The school, which has been closed for a decade, will now improve the lives of local residents.
Vinicius is the favourite to lift the Ballon d’Or later this year after inspiring Real to a LaLiga-Champions League double.
He could line up alongside Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham, in a formidable trio this season.
Los Blancos get their campaign underway against Mallorca tonight.
Incredible footage shows the lethal goalscorer left for dead during a futsal game at the Canto do Rio Club.
Vinicius began his career at the club when he was just seven – the start of a journey that has seen him rise to the top.
The video shows the young futsal player dribbling past him and leaving him sat down on the ground.
But there were no hard feelings and he appeared to shake it off, getting back to his feet and shaking the teen’s hand.
